Recent finds in the PDF world

The more time passes the more I like SumatraPDF. Undoubtedly Adobe Acrobat keeps getting bigger and more bulky but even the alternatives out there focus on features over speed. Meanwhile Sumatra has near-instant startup and is actually packaged into the next item ...

I still find FileVoyager a little cumbersome to use as compared to other file management tools but it's ability to preview files (primarily PDFs) from a list view is irreplaceable. OS X is very good about this but FV is even better.

Firefox's plugin "Print Edit" solves the problem of limited PDF editors out there by cutting out crap you don't need before you initially convert it. Also, this program has a TON of features under the hood.
